This line is offensve - Shylock is a stingy Jew who lends money to his Christian rival Antonio, setting the security at a pound of Antonio's flesh.
Using the word stingy here is perpetuating the stereotype and reads as anti-semitic. It could be any other number of descriptive words Pavlob (talk) 21:44, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

US president Donald Trump referred to corrupt moneylenders as Shylocks in a 2025 speech and was widely criticized for it, but refused to apologize as he said he did not know it was offensive. Is this notable enough to include? See: ~2025-31856-38 (talk) 03:36, 7 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I was looking at this today in light of Trump's comments (which I only learned of today). If what everyone seemed to say, namely that "shylock" is an antisemitic term, then I'd expect this article to mention it. But it doesn't, weirdly. --jae (talk) 22:59, 30 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

The sentence « In Venice, Jews had to live in a ghetto protected by Christians which was probably for their own safety. » has no citation. Implying people were forcibly restricted was for their benefit is a problematic statement in and of itself. ~2025-34356-33 (talk) 22:13, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
